    Jack/Lift for the R18?

    I ordered one too, they were quick to confirm and I expect it'll be here by the end of the month. Shipping came a bit higher than quoted, but they split the difference with me. Great company to do business with.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Great plan, look forward to hearing how it works out. I brought TC by my dealer and we saw the adaptive headlight seemed to be working to some extent, and although seemed slightly off center. Next time in we'll be looking at it more closely. I expect we'll be able to learn more about it in...

    Floor Board Installation Question

    There are a number of non-OEM (compatible with round footpeg mounts) alternative floorboards/footpegs that folks have found and mentioned on the forum, searching for 'floorboards' would be a good place to start. I swapped in the Wunderlich lowered footpegs for all my round pegs, but they...

    Floor Board Installation Question

    The OEM TC/B floorboards are interchangeable only If you have the footpegs type shown in this image. This is my TC, where I swapped in the R18B footpegs for my floorboards, also got springs, bushes, pins and clips. If you have the round footpegs, then you'd require the boards, the base...

    B / TC tire life

    My Pure and Classic both came with Michelins, when worn replacing with same to verify not just a bad tire. The front Commander III on the Pure was toast within 6000 miles, worn mostly on left side. I replaced with same so far it seems to be wearing normally. The front Commander III on the...

    B / TC tire life

    I replaced the Bridgestone H50 tires with another set of the same on my TC at about 11000 miles. I don't know the worn tires depth measurements, but they were pretty well radished. Very pleased with the new set, probably mostly because my TC just feels better and better as the miles go on.

    sold R18 Bagger windshield

    Excellent windshield. I'm 5'7" and I put this exact Bagger windshield on my TC. I look over it as I prefer, especially in rain. There's a tad more buffeting with the lower windshield at speed, but the music still sounds great and the total package is perfect.

    R18 Bagger headlight reflector vibrating when accelerating.

    My TC headlight looks like yours, has the same offset on the side. I'm just starting to see some fine particulate on the corner where you see the rubbing. I've not seen it move from that position and have not noted light beam adapt while riding. Will talk to the shop tomorrow about taking a look...

    Tires

    I put a new set of Bridgestone Battlecruise H50's on my TC when i was approaching 12k. The new ones feel much better than the originals did, perhaps they are just fresh and haven't spent months or more on the side stand. I run with 42 lbs front and 46 lbs rear.

    Side Case Tough To Open

    My TC had a sticky lock on the right case. It would not unlock completely with the control button, but by inserting the key and turning it just a tad it would release so the button could be pushed. Another behavior I observed, when turning the key it would also bind up part way through the turn...

    Rear Bag Guards

    The instructions for the Wunderlich case guards indicate the torque values in Nm, see illustrations on page 2. The instructions are shipped with the product, some longer screws, a few washers, some zip-ties, and they provide a small tube of blue threadlock. The install took a few hours, with an...

    Engine temperature

    Thank you for the info, Yama. If the Yoshimura temp gauge works well on the R18, could you share product information or perhaps a picture?

    Key Fob/Battery issue

    Not sure if this is helpful, but could be a way to isolate the issue to either the antenna or fob. Fasten the spare key to the antenna, remove the seat, tape it, ziptie it or something, then pop the seat on and see if the problem occurs. If the problem continues, then it would be the antenna...
